Link Loss Of Bone Density Decline In Weight During Menopause

A study conducted on the long-term to decrease weight during
menopause is linked to - apparently - the rates increased for the loss
of bone density. Said Dr. Jane A. Cooley of the University of Pittsburgh
in Pennsylvania that "even women who were taking hormone therapy, age
reserves completely from the loss of bone density.” The report noted
Cooley and her colleagues that the change in weight leads to changes in
bone mineral density, and weight loss during menopause may be more. was
Cooley and her colleagues identified in previous loss greater BMD during
the 18-month period among women, in Program aims to encourage the loss
of moderate weight compared with women simply following the diet low in
fat (control group).

Has traced the new study, bone mineral
density and measurements of weight at 373 woman is obese pre-menopausal
women who varied in age from 44 to 50 years was for more than 78
months. During the intervention active, which lasted 54 months,
increased weight individuals control group, 2.6 kg, while lost the
intervention group of 0.4 kg of body weight, on average. Indicated
Cooley that the annual rate of loss of hip bones was "the largest
six-fold" among women who lost weight compared with their counterparts
in the control group who did not lose weight.John Barban Review

Said that "women
who take hormone therapy at the time of menopause had witnessed a slower
rate of loss of bone density. She added that "However, if these women
lost weight also witnessed the faster rates of bone loss." Risk and the
researchers estimate that the loss of bone density over five years
represents about 7% of women who have lost weight. It adds Cooley that
"this quantum of the loss of bone density associated with an increased
in the risk of fractures." mentions that when you re-evaluation of the
participants in this study, two years after the cessation of active
intervention, the researchers found less in the differences that relate
to weight and absence - in general - the differences in BMD.
